Introducing the GRS Super Joystick IKARI WARRIORS EDITION
Ever since the golden era of arcades, iconic games like the SNK Ikari Warriors series, Data East Midnight Resistance, SNK T.N.K III, and Taito Front Line Arcade have captured the imagination of players in the 1980s. Especially memorable is the legendary Ikari Warriors, a game that holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of countless gamers. Until now, it was challenging to fully recapture the magic of the original rotary joystick gameplay. But today, at Glen's Retro Show and Thunderstick Studio, we're changing that.
We're beyond excited to present the GRS Super Joystick, a product of our dedication to rekindling those precious gaming memories. In a monumental leap, we've collaborated with SNK and secured the official license of Ikari Warriors, integrating it as a key feature of our product. But that's not all. We've brought the experience full circle, creating an exclusive limited-edition package that isn't just a joystick but a piece of gaming history.
When you unbox the GRS Super Joystick, you'll be met with the iconic Ikari Warriors imagery adorning our unique packaging. It's not just about aesthetics. Our team has innovated the packaging to include a control panel-shaped rig box with pre-drilled holes. Users can easily pop off these holes to assemble the high-quality arcade buttons and the GRS Super Joystick onto the rig box, transforming the packaging into a fully functional control panel. That's right. Your packaging becomes part of your gaming experience, complete with licensed artwork from the Ikari Warriors arcade cabinet, ready for use with iconic arcade games requiring rotary functions.
This limited-edition GRS Super Joystick Ikari Warriors edition aims to recreate and enhance the original gaming experience. It incorporates state-of-the-art technology like Hall Sensors, Hybrid USB Protocols, and Software-Defined Joystick Control Key Values. The joystick is designed to be user-friendly, requiring no technical knowledge, and offers a plug-and-play solution suitable for both veteran gamers and newcomers.
The versatile joystick includes an encoder (supporting up to 12 buttons), a joystick, and a push-and-pull spinner joystick knob, providing a three-in-one solution that greatly simplifies the DIY process. The rotating knob features three switchable modes (Gamepad hat, Keystroke, and Mouse) tailored for optimal gaming across different game types.
The GRS Super Joystick is not just suitable for retro games but is a powerhouse optimized for contemporary gaming experiences, creating a bridge between generations of gamers.
So, seize the opportunity and elevate your gaming experience with the GRS Super Joystick Ikari Warriors edition. Be part of this limited offer, enjoy a piece of gaming history, and transform your gaming setup with our innovative rig box packaging. GAME ON!
